Why Does India Suck At The Olympics?
India representing at the ‘Rural Olympics’.
Today on the morning show we talked about the Olympics, namely China’s emerging dominance. For me the bigger question is India. Why does India suck so much? In 2008 the US won 110 medals, China won 100 and India won… 3. India has over a billion people, some economic clout and is by all counts an emerging superpower, but they suck at the Olympics. Why?
I dunno. I was asking. I guess I’ll do some reading. Let’s start with a couple hypotheses
- Indians suck at sports
- The Indian government sucks at sports administration
1. Indians Suck At Sports
I honestly don’t think this is possible, and Indians are pretty good at cricket. The rub may be that they devote everything to cricket, which isn’t an Olympic sport. I know they (we) are short and not physically awesome, but the average Indian can take the average Chinese person in a fight. And there’s a billion of them, so there has to be a certain amount of innate ability. Perhaps I’ll get back to this, but let’s move on.
2. Indian Government Sucks At Administration
This seems more likely. The Indian government – while a democracy – is still a mess. Sadanand Dhume has an essay starting with the Olympics but flowing into a broad indictment of Indian mediocrity in all forms.
India’s traditional invisibility at the Olympics—the gold and two bronzes won in Beijing mark its best ever performance— can be viewed as a legacy of the flawed policies it pursued in the early decades after independence. For long an autarkic and socialist economy, India has lagged in establishing the competitive culture and market incentives that spur excellence in the developed world. At the same time, as a democracy, it has never had the option of emulating the intrusive controls and collective purpose that mark the authoritarian model. (India’s Olympic Reality Check)
Then there is India’s sports administration, which displayed naked corruption and incompetence during the embarrassing Delhi Commonwealth Games. This via Neeta Lal in the Asia Times:
For one, India’s annual budget for sports is too meager. This year’s US$280 million worth of funding is overshadowed by international standards. For example, China’s – one of India’s biggest rivals – has earmarked $2 billion for this year’s Games.
About half the money from India’s outlay will be channeled towards administrative expenses and the salaries of officials and bureaucrats. In other words, much of it will be gobbled up in administrative expense rather than the crucial training of athletes. (India’s failure of Olympic proportions)
Basically India isn’t enough of an authoritarian country to muscle a sports program through, but they aren’t enough of a democracy to have competent sports institutions either. Which is perhaps a chicken egg situation, that the private sector should step in to ameliorate. Or maybe Indians are happy enough with being awesome at cricket and OK at field hockey and don’t really care about running fast or any traditional feats of strength. But they kinda should, because it just looks bad, internationally.

I just gave a talk at the University Of Sri Jayawardenapura along with Reeza Zarook of Anything.lk and Rohan Jayaweera of Google. These are my notes: Devin Jayasundara asked me for a subject for this talk and I told him Internet property. But I talked to my fiancé Shru and she had a better idea. Startups aren’t about creating property at all, not really. They’re about creating territory, about creating land.
I haven’t been blogging much, I know. It’s partly because we’ve been doing a lot of work on YAMU, especially shipping 1.0.1 of the Android app today. It’s on the 
I met an old-timer who said they used to drop acid and sleep atop Sigiriya, but the place has taken on a more commercial and quasi-spiritual role now. It was built by a king as a sort of retreat and used as a monastery. Now it’s a prime tourist and cultural destination. Hence it’s a bit odd to see a Japanese beer commercial shot up there. There’s a bunch of people eating, um, deep fried cream filled coconuts and then drinking some bracing beer. I hear the whole thing cost Rs. 25,000 (I’m presuming they used stock images).
“India Bashing” again eh? :)
I think it’s a combination of the two. South Asians do suck at sports, and we are bad at administration. I don’t think pointing to cricket is justification of our athleticism. Consider that the Brits left their colonies with a multitude of sports — rugby, cricket, football, polo, athletics, to name a few. The only thing us South Asians hung onto was cricket. Why? ‘Cos clearly it’s the only sport we have any ability at. And face it, it’s not the most athletic of games, and doesn’t require the levels of fitness the rest of the top sports — bar golf — requires. What other national sports team can you imagine being captained by the physical proportions of Arjuna Ranatunge, Dulip Mendis, or Sachin Tendulkar? Most of the time you just stand around baking in the sun. If it drizzles a bit, you go inside and have a cup of tea. Hardly Usain Bolt stuff.
That’s definitely not true. Indians are world class at hockey and that’s just as demanding football. The reason Chinese are getting a lot better these days is primarily because their athletics program resembles super soldier training. Promising athletes are picked at very very young age and sent to training camps where they are molded into Olympians 24/7
You can’t pull off stuff like that in places other than china because it’s raises a lot of human rights & child welfare issues.
Then you know nothing of training programs athletes go through, amateur or professional. Stop posting, get off the internet, and back away forever.
That goes for the both of you.
“The reason Chinese are getting a lot better these days is primarily because their athletics program resembles super soldier training”
- In other words, in order to excel in sports, one has to train real hard? What’s new about it?
Also, it’s not only about The Chinese – The Americans, Russians, Germans, French, Koreans, Italians – they all score high at Olympics, – not all of them “violate” sportsmen “human” rights.
I think David Blacker’s got it about right, though there are a few additional reasons.
First, South Asians love their sport as much as the next person, but they don’t necessarily do sport as much as the next person. Leaving aside school sports meets (which are huge here), there’s very little participatory/competitive sport going on (aside from the relatively new IPL). Most other regions will have grassroots sports clubs of every type, with regular and committed participation, leading to slightly larger clubs and eventually to professional leagues/competition. There’s not much of that in this part of the world, even for the most beloved of sports – cricket.
Secondly, athletics is a tough sport, mostly individual disciplines, and requires years of dedication and financial backing. If there’s no history of such endeavour, then it takes a concerted effort to foster it. There are broadly three approaches that have achieved success at the Olympics: raw talent, societal/historic enthusiasm and nationalistic direction from government. Countries that would fit into each category, in order, might be Jamaica/Kenya, UK/Australia and USSR/China. The US probably fits all three and therefore has achieved great success. I’m not sure that India meets any of these categories.
“…but the average Indian can take the average Chinese person in a fight.” Really? Do tell me how you came to that conclusion, I’m interested to know.
First I’d like to see what the average Indian is. Or Chinese for that matter.
Growing up, my only impression of the average Chinese was that they were hard as nails. John Woo, Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan movies will have that effect, of course.
Size does not matter in a fight. It’s technique that wins 9 times out of 10. Royce Gracie, anyone?
Size does matter, that’s why they have different weight divisions. Technique alone is worth nothing. Strength combined with fighting spirit and experience, – this is what wins the fight.
Duuuuude! Why no blog on SF?
The answer is very simple: Very poor genes resulting in mixing of different races over 1000s of years has produced a nation of weak mongrels. Indians have no consistent skin color, height, build or physical appearance. Indians although have been playing test cricket for nearly 100 years have not produced a single “fast bowler”. i.e. a bowler whose average speed (leaving out the slow ball) is 140 km/h or above. Not one. That shows how weak Indians are physically. And if you weak physically, you will also be weak mentally.
That’s bollocks. Indian has produced at least a dozen fast bowlers over 140 in the past decade. The problem they have is thier bowlers breaking down with injuries and loosing pace. And what the fuck does consistent skin color have to do with anything.
Name one???
what are you mad!
Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Ishant Sharma from the old lot
From the new lot Umesh Yadav, Varoon Aaron, Ashok Dinda
Nonsense: These are all medium pacers. You obviously don’t have a clue about fast bowling nor cricket for that matter.
http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/535672.html
http://www.dnaindia.com/sport/comment_cricket-india-s-need-for-fast-bowlers_1585956
Medium Pacers mean “Fast medium” or “Medium fast”: That is the “technical” term.
No Indian has “Fast” under his name when being introduced to the bowling attack.
Lol. Does it matter what cricinfo writes down as speed. You said 140+ all those people regularly bowl 140+. You just haven’t watched cricket.
zaheer khan started playing cricket a long time ago he’s lost his pace over years. He was definitely 140+ when started off.
Here then are the fastest bowlers in the world with legal actions, based on the most current speeds recorded in the 2003 World Cup:
1. Shane Bond, New Zealand: 153.4 Kph / 95.3 mph
2. Ashish Nehra, India: 149.7 Kph / 93.0 mph
3. Makhaya Ntini, South Africa: 149.4 Kph / 92.8 mph
4. Jason Gillespie, Australia: 148.3 Kph / 92.1 mph
5. Dilhara Fernando, Sri Lanka: 147.9 Kph / 91.9 mph
6. Zaheer Khan, India: 147.4 Kph / 91.6 mph

It’s about AVERAGE SPPED, NOT about the “fastest ball”. Zaheer Kahan will bowl one single ball at 147 k, but his “average speed” is well below 140k. It’s about 135,136.
What a ridiculously stupid claim. If you take dogs and cats, the mongrels are stronger, healthier and are better at survival when compared to the pure-breds who have all sorts of diseases and disabilities from interbreeding. The mongrels may not look as pretty as the pure breds though. It’s pretty clear that training does have results – look at how well India is doing at the Commonwealth Games these days – they used to be like Sri Lanka:
http://www.topendsports.com/events/commonwealth-games/medal-count.htm
As for your comment about “poor genes”, India is composed of very many different types of people. Kashmiris are almost like Europeans, people from the North East have Chinese features and people from the South are generally dark like Sri Lankans.
Countries like India and Sri Lanka invest precious little in sports, and providing training to promising athletes. And it shows.
Blacker and Rohan have most of the reasons.
Training, nutrition and other resources play a good part but genetics do so as well.
The ‘easy’ climate of South Asia meant that its inhabitants did not need to be particularly strong, agile or fast to survive. Anyone who could survive the long sea voyage to the New World, Australia, New Zealand or South Africa had to be physically tough which is why these countries excel at sports that demand these attributes. The same is true of the Pacific Islanders, those who survived the long voyages in open sea in the little Balsa wood boats were the tough ones.
Cricket is a game of skill, not of strength, which is why South Asian’s are good at it. Hockey, which India used to excel at, before is popularity died is the same. Rugby is a game of strength so South Asian’s by and large are at a disadvantage as, in most instances, are track and field events.
Tell me jack, have you ever played hockey? Hockey requires absurd endurance & crazy strength. It’s just as, or even more physically demanding than football.
You are right, hockey, like football requires a lot of stamina, so perhaps that is not the best example. Hockey does not require the strength needed in rugger but is still very taxing.
Jack, hockey needs a ton of leg strength. You need to be able a real good sprinter on top of having crazy endurance. But the point here is if india can we world class at hockey they can easily be world class at many of the other more athletic sports.
Er… Rohan’s reasons are completely different to mine.
To add to the above, the Pakhtuns, hailing from the wilderness beyond the Khyber Pass are as tough as they some. Some, like Imran Khan make it into sports and excel at it.
why do we care about india? lets think about why we suck at sports and administration. After all indians are better than our lot in administration.
obviously it’s not “genes”. Even though the majority of Indians are shorter and smaller than other peoples there are always going to be MANY outliers from a population of 1 billion. China is a clear example of that. If China can do it, so can India. The main reason India does terrible in the olympics is because of government corruption which means little gets built or fixed in India. Even ask the athletes. If India addressed this problem they would have good results.. things are changing though… India performed well in the commonwealth games at Delhi.
and as… for those guys who says India is too “weak”. India used to have really strong fighters back in the day. Are you forgetting all the Indians who fought and died during the world wars? ask any historian. the british would of had an embarrassing retreat if it wasn’t for the Indians. FACT.
Hockey is NOT a truly International sport. It’s just like cricket. How many countries play hockey seriously. Hockey also does not have a professional league unlike many sports. Only about 4 or 5 countries take hockey seriously. So because of that Indians have good chance of doing good in it. If hockey was played by over 100 countries in the world, Indians would have no chance. Because, if Indians are good at hockey at world level they should be good at soccer as well. But they aren’t.
The same is true for CW Games. Commonwealth games does not have the true powers of sports like China, Russia, Germany and USA. So without them competitiveness is much less. So Indians win some medals. That is all. Indians are lazy, stupid, ugly bums. I find Indians a joke.
Actually, 127 countries play hockey — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Hockey_Federation
What I meant was take it “seriously”. For example, every country plays tennis but only about 4 or 5 are real tennis powerhouses.
Also, since Indians have 1.2 BILLION population, statistically there is a much greater chance of the odd “sportsman” emerging. So, it’s just numbers and probability, nothing to do with real talent and sports culture. Indians also have very low average IQ. Their average national IQ is a 81 (i.e. borderline retarded). BTW, that is our national average IQ as well, which is real bad news. Just to compare, the average IQ of Chinese, Americans, Russians is around 100. So, that is why I say it’s genes. Because a population with an average IQ of just 81 will not be interested in anything. These are people who are basically simple-minded who are geared for “simple living” without much enthusiasm for anything.

Tennis is a very individualistic sport, and the “powerhouses” have varied over the decades, mostly by the coincidence of whichever country a particular champion happened to be from, rather than it being a national-team sport. At one time India had some decent players. So that’s not it.
Another problem when analysing India is that there is no such thing as an average when it comes to ethnic groups. India is a mishmash of many countries, artificially united by the Brits. If you take hockey, it’s largely played in certain states, reflecting a particular ethnic group’s higher athleticism over the rest. It’ll be the same if you tried to figure out an average height, or average military unit. Genetic profiling on intellect went out with Hitler and the Nazis, so that’s a load of rubbish too. There are many other factors responsible for a low national IQ, and even a cursory glance at that list will reveal a few. The average global IQ is 85, so India’s is only slightly below that (I guess the whole world is retarded then), and ours has been calculated simply because they think we’re just like India.
Genetics and sport is a different matter, and I agree that South Asians on the whole are not genetically prone to athleticism. Whether hockey is taken seriously or not is immaterial.What matters is whether it requires athleticism, and it certainly does. But as I said before, it’s mostly played in certain states. What is interesting is that the athleticism required for hockey is very similar to that of football, and the latter is played very well by a diverse set of ethnicities all over the world.
None of this has anything to substantiate your retarded claim (what’s your IQ btw?) that genetical mixing creates weaker “mongrels”. Got any links to that “theory” (other than Mein Kampf)?
There are more than enough countries that take hockey seriously. It’s pretty big in places like australia, south africa, germany, netherlands & spain.
Blacker, genetics have very little to do with one country being more athletic over the other. The vast differences we see are mostly due to factors like nutrition.
In 1848, one man out of four was rejected by the Dutch military because he was shorter than 5-foot-2. Today, fewer than one in 1,000 is that short.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/offbeat/2006-09-16-dutch-tall_x.htm
now the average dutch man is well over 6 feet tall. That’s not genetics.
I didn’t say it was only genetics. But genetics are a factor in physical characteristics. Nutrition can change it over time, but nutrition alone can’t overcome certain characteristics. In a country of a billion people it is more than likely that there are enough well-nutritioned individuals to fill out an Olympics team. If Jamica can do it, surely India can too. But clearly Jamaicans are more athletic than Indians,but that’s not just because of nutrition. As I said to Rohan, it’s hard to find an average in a country like India.
If Jamaicans are more athletic than Indians, how come Nigerians haven’t excelled at Olympics ? Many Jamaicans are descendants of Nigerians. Same way that particular nation adores football or cricket, Jamaicans adore sprinting , just like cricket sprinting spirit is cultured into Jamaicans at tender age. It’s all about incentive.
“Lynn argues that racial differences in IQ map directly to all of these worldwide social hierarchies. He also notes that an explanation based on differences in IQ explain why mixed-race populations consistently fall between their parent populations, in terms of social problems and achievements.[5]”
Mixed race people have IQ between the 2. I.e. they are lower than the Parent with the higher IQ, which means they are weaker than, strongest parent. These are results of studies done after years of experiments and data collecting by scientists who specialize in RACE and IQ studies. And no, those studies have not ended with Hitler. They are being done right now all over the world.
More crazy ranting and raving?
Indians are are as lazy, stupid and “ugly bummish” as anyone else.
South Asians have different priorities. Ie. education vs sports, where ever they live in comparison to the west.
I disagree with body types , genetics . if you put your mind into it sky is the limit. Eg. Prashanth Sinathurai gymnast.
hahahaha. Rohan did you know, that if you considered yourself superior to indians you have mental issues? it’s obvious that it’s not genetics as china is in the same boat…. it’s all the government little is funded for sports except cricket and hockey.
This whole “Indians are not good at sports” is crap. I’m chinese-american and follow my chinese brethren in the sporting world. It’s all about the $. If you’re a rich country (i.e US or Germany), people tend to be richer and have more free time to do sports and worry less about starvation. If you’re an authoritarian country (USSR back in the day) and China (to some extent today), then you can spend oodles of money to create the ecosystem needed–coaches, equipment, fellow competitors.
Look at Michael Chang, Michelle Kwan, and Jeremy Lin. They’re all ethnically chinese and were/are world class athletes in their field. They are also all chinese-americans. In the US, they had/have access to top coaches and competition at a young age. There are no equivalents right now in tennis or basketball with someone in China. There are about 3 million chinese-americans and 1300 million chinese. I’m sure physically there are more Michael Chang, Michelle Kwan, and Jeremy Lin’s out there.
Yao Ming has only been retired for a year. He’s achieved more success than Lin and put up some incredible numbers despite his limitations. One of his first games, he was guarded by David Robinson. Yao owned him. They needed to double him with Duncan and he still managed to put up impressive numbers. This is a rookie Yao against two future Hall-of-Famers.
China also has 3 of the top 100 tennis players. Li Na being at the top at 11th best.
Why just pick those 3 sports. Where do you see a professional Chinese-American diving or gymnastics champ? What about in track?
I do agree that it takes money to win. But China knows how to win and they’re winning now.
“but the average Indian can take the average Chinese person in a fight. ”
As a chinese person who lived in a place with a lot of indians I can asure you this isn’t even close to the truth. I live in a sort of coop where alot of Indians stay. I can asure you, I’ve arm wrestled every Indian in this place and I’ve beaten every single one. I’m not remarkably strong or big for a chinese person but from personal experience I can definitely say that Indians are fucking weak. I think it has to do with the Indian diet, I can’t be sure.
Not to be racist but experience has shown me that certain races possess certain strength attributes. On average there is a difference in strength between whites, blacks, east asians and Indians. Blacks are the strongest, then whites, then east asians and then Indians who show the biggest disparity. When I arm wrestle white and black people I see a general trend where they are overall stronger, but there still are a number of white people and black people who I can still beat. However, for Indian people it’s hilariously universal, I’ve beaten every single one, no fucking contest.
I know that personal experience isn’t an accurate source but pride blinds and I’m just speaking the truth as I know it. Plus I doubt any statician has the balls to research this.
100% agree with Brian. Indians are weak, corrupt and hypocritical drones. The only reason for all the India this and Indians that hype is due to the insidious global agenda of western powers, in which their Indian lapdogs have a role to play. So, to keep the lapdog happy, the master throws the lapdog some scraps. In this case it comes in the form of false flattery, which stupid, retarted Indians lap up like hungry dogs.
I am of Indian origin and I can tell you that one of the reasons the general belief among Indians that they are physically stronger than the Chinese comes from the fact that the East-Asian people were frequently ridiculed in their movies. They are shown as short, skinny and having feminine characteristics. This was quite common during the years following the short war with China where Nepalis used to fill in as Chinese characters. Ridiculing the Chinese somehow reduced the embarrassment of defeat.
I have been to the Northern parts of China (Harbin, Jilin, Beijing etc) and have observed that the people there are thick-boned and taller than the Southern Chinese (Guangdong, Guizhou etc). The average height among males there is about 5.8 to 6 feet.
About 25 years ago or so, China was just emerging from its difficult times and quite a few people were struggling to feed themselves. Now I see basketball courts all over China and the youngsters getting taller and taller. Perhaps, most Indians who have never been to China still have that image of a malnourished short statured Chinese person from the past stuck in their minds.
I agree with everything you said. The Chinese in modern China are continuing to grow because of their tendency for their higher overall protein consumption than Indians. Having lived in the west and China, I can attest to, at least mid to large size cities, the Chinese are incredibly healthy people. Their lifespans tend to be lower but it would be a logical fallacy to assume they’re related. Healthcare quality and accessibility play a huge part.
I am origin from Japan,
From my personal experience, the reason must be:
1. poor, lack of sport facility, which will result in hard to educate and find sport-talent from young ppl.
2. hot weather in Indian, not good weather condition to do sport
3. diet habit: a lot vegetarian make them weak.
4. religion: rich in thinking, reluctant to do strenuous exercise, only like Yuga.
5. lack of hard working spirit. From most of my coworker, I know they like making excuse, hard working only pushing from me. Most East Asian people no this kind of problem, they much much more disciplined and responsible.
If you agree with me, I said, this is only my personal experience.
Your wrong mate. Indians suck at EVERYTHING (not only sports but they have failed in everything. Just look at the sh1thole called India. It’s virtually a sewe) due to inferior genes and reverse evolution. Weather has nothing to do with sports. Why do Africans excel at long distance running??? GENES. Africa has the worse weather, hot, humid and dessert like. BUT they still run and create World Records?? African genes are evolved to run long distances.
You don’t have to study anything about India. Just look at Indians: Short, mud colored, ugly cockroaches. Nothing good can come out of cockroaches like that.
what a racist garbage
Rohan I salute for being a great troll.
Whose a troll?????
I was just speaking the truth. Everybody knows Indians are animals. Just ask ANYBODY who has had the unfortunate privilege of working with these smelly scumbags. Are you living in Mars or something???
This is not meant to be crude or racist, but it’s simply because Indian people are not athletic or aggressive. India has always been the abused and colonized throughout history and it is a result of its pacifist mentality and limp wristed mentality. It even lost a war with China. In conclusion, Indians just don’t have what it takes to be athletic/manly/aggressive to win olympic medals.
Exactly my point. Inferior Genes. An athletic body, manliness, aggressive behavior all are genetic traits. Indians have a pacifist mentality simply because they are genetically inferior. Simply put, Indians are no more docile than the cows they worship.
We too are in the same boat, but it does not show since we are a very very small country. After competing for over 70 years we have only 2 medals. Idi Amin’s Uganda has 6, including 1 Gold. So go figure.
Stop arguing whether India sucks in Sports. All of you want a reason to argue then argue on this India sucks at everything.
If you smell what the rock is cooking.
this reminds of what the WHITE slaveowners used to say about blacks….they are not smart enough…
now obama is probably the smartest president ever……
this stuff pushes me to do better in sports…. anyone can do anything…dont listen do these guys if you have read this…..(I’m Indian) and successfully played american football wrestling and cross country in high school…. now working on becoming a pro boxer
ALL WORK IS EASY WORK
it won’t be overnight but soon it’ll change its the cycle of life…… and to rohan and all of the other haters out there you guys don’t understand the human nature!…i guess bodhidharma should have stayed…..oh well peace out
“(I’m Indian) and successfully played american football wrestling and cross country in high school”
Really??? Playing AF Football, wrestling and cross country videos games with your friends in high school do NOT count to prove Indians are good at sports.
Sorry mate. :-D
India is the biggest shithole in the history of humanity. If you don’t believe just go there and c for yourself. If you want to see the worst of humanity then go to India. It’s worse than Africa.
you sound like the new hitler…. thanks for pressuring me….
the truth is Indians are not competitive in anything and have never produce any thing which is truly world class – look at all the Olympiads be in in maths, physics, chemistry, biology competitions or even IT and programming competitions, Indians have never been tops. India may have a large IT industry but it is known not for quality but for quantity – the best programmers are Russians, East europeans and Americans, not indians.
and the worse is that india is not known for quality and world class brands – can’t think of any. there is no Bentley, Toyota, Benz, Louis Vuitton or anything which is the finest and the greatest. even when they win a title, they will never defend the title (only hockey in the olden days when competition was not serious and the game was not as athletic as today)
indians are a satisfied lot – and when they quite good or become rich they are so ARROGANT OR CORRUPT. they will probably win a world title for boasting, talking big and being hugely corrupt and they are so disorganized and so political and so damn selfish so sense of civic mindedness
indians are a big lot of third world mentality
Indians suck at sports because they drink cow urine instead of eating beef, their diets are low in protein and hence they are short and weak.
My experience has been the same!Defeated every single indian i have fought,most of them larger than me.Been defeated by a thai!Maybe its the indian diet!Was just sharing my experience!
One thing that I thought was funny was the part where it says the average Indian can take the average Chinese in a fight. Seriously?? In what world? Even in the US, Chinese-American kids are so much more athletic than their Indian counterparts. Where is the Indian tradition in boxing and martial arts??
